“That’s really tragic but sort of understandable, would you want the likes of George Best getting your liver after trashing the first donated one if he was still alive?”
No I wouldn’t, I wouldn’t have given him the first liver if he wasn’t going to look after it (I’m not familiar with his life to that degree, so no idea if he’d sobered up). Certainly wouldn’t have given him a second liver (third if you consider his original liver) when there’s a waiting list with people more deserving of a chance of full life.
I’d rather my organs rot in the ground than go to someone who has abused their body with smoking, alcohol and drugs.
I kind of like the idea of my body going to medical research even though I know it won’t necessarily be fully respected, at least it trains the next generation of doctors and you never know you could get into a military project and come back as a zombie cyborg :-)
To go on the donor list I’d need to know a trusted family member would get to meet the recipients or at least get information on them and agree they are worthy of the gift. Wife feels the same way, so with the current system no donations from us I’m afraid.
